Posted December 17, 200321 yr comment_61012 Did anyone notice the reclining seats? I didn't think the 240Z had reclining seats until the 73 model year............. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9346-1971-240z-factory-restore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 17, 200321 yr Author comment_61014 Mike, I have a late 1971 ( 7-71 ) and it doesn't have them. I guessed they installed them in the 72's. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9346-1971-240z-factory-restore/#findComment-61014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 17, 200321 yr comment_61015 That's my understanding, but as always, keep in mind that there's no clean cut distinction between model years. It's probably only safe to say that reclining seats started appearing sometime in the fall of 1971.

December 17, 200321 yr comment_61016 My 1972 240Z (mfg 11/71) has the non-reclining seats. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9346-1971-240z-factory-restore/#findComment-61016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 17, 200321 yr comment_61022 I think we are establishing a good timeline here as to when reclining seats appeared. My 1972, (HLS30-59593) manufactured 12/71, has reclining seats. So, one can say the seats changed between November/December of 71.On a side note: My car is equipped with non-retractable seatbelts, but has the recesses behind the seats for the later retractable units Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9346-1971-240z-factory-restore/#findComment-61022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
